Hello Dr Kate Rubins, why conduct your researches in space? What is there in space that you need for your research? Best regards.
When you went into space for the first time, what was it like? Were you nervous?
Hi Kate! What did you learn from your Heart Cells experiment? Sounds so interesting!
Other than joy, why do you do the things you do?
What is your advice to someone who wants to follow the same steps you take?
What's something you didn't know about being an astronaut before you actually became one? Do you have any words of advice for young astronauts?
What popular film is the closest to reality for you?
What does it feel like to float?? Do you have trouble adjusting to walking on the earth after that ??
How does it feel to into space for the first time? Like liftoff and leaving earth’s atmosphere? It seems like the world’s terrifying roller coaster, but what’s it really like?
Hey, Kate! What would you say/what advice would you give to your younger self? ✨
Hii! I'm unsure if you've been asked this before, but I'd like to give it a shot anyway. What's the greatest legacy you hope to leave to the future generations? Whether it's one of the things you've accomplished already or are hoping to accomplish yet. Thank you very much!
Is your health affected from being in outer space?
Why's your suit so colorful?
What does a normal day for you consist of?

What was your first thought when you first saw earth from space? And what realizations did you have?
Have you ever had to troubleshoot a problem in space?
As an astronaut who has been on a spacewalk before, what does the all-woman spacewalk mean to you?
What is like to be surrounded by the stars and darkness? Is it terrifying or calming?
